AWESOME DAY!!!
We had a sub-zone event named: The Fashion Runway!!
Our group 'o ya beh ya som' yesterday to decide who was going to be the model.. before o ya beh ya som I set the rules and everything.. Sui sui already, we started. In the end the one who talked the most (me) kena! Man.......... Couldn't believe it. They were so happy! Cos it wasn't them.. hahaha..

So what was it all about??
Each team was given 5 trash bags and our agenda was to create an evening gown out of it! Challenging huh. And we were given 1 hr 15 mins to do so.. Makeup included.. It was stressful! But my part was not that uptight cos I just had to simply stand there and be done up.. HAHA.. My main concern? The 'gown' dropping when I walk! Phew, it turned out 'secured' hahaha.. All teams were awesome.. It was incredible looking at the extent the trash bags were being
transformed. And erm only after walking down the runway (paradox spotted) did I know how I actually looked.. See! I had so much faith in my team! HAHAHA.. They were great la.









So funny la. They were using all the dark makeup to try to uglify my left side of the face.. The scene was hilarious la. Ok for this I allowed willingly!!









My awesome team and Jean

Most of them went to eat at marina bay but I went for dinner at Lorong 5 Toa Payoh with my dad.. Today he was super humourous as well la. He's always talking so I have to always listen.. He said that girls should play hard to get.. LOL.. So that we will not appear too cheap.. (Not from my mouth!) HAha.. And the difference between a gifted student and a non-gifted one (me) is that the non-gifted one (me) always have to hope that the topics they studied will come out but the gifted one doesn't have to.. haha

Now this is funny..
Me: You got girlfriend before?
Him: Ya
Me: How many?
Him: 3
Me: WAH! A lot leh..
Him: Ya la then you think mummy is the first ah?

LOL... After 19 long years ah... Just discovered his hidden secret.. wahha..
We went to MacRitchie Res. after dinner. It was a breathtaking sight, a retreat from our concrete jungle. We saw a lot of monkeys, turtles, fish and a squirrel! awesome place for a jog..

Rented 'Love Actually' after that.. Fantastic movie. Made me laugh and cry.. I could almost empathize with the characters after each time they had an interaction with someone they fancied.. It's the hanging-in-the-air type of feeling.. Like 'Man.. I could have done better...' or 'Oh that was silly of me...' Ok shan't go on.. hahaha..

*Love actually is all around!*

Yesterday was a great day!! TWO hours of yoga followed by one hour of captain's ball.. Awesome.. We played barefooted on our 0.5 million synthetic field! LOL.. It drizzled slightly and that made it more fun! Injured my ankle again for the umpteeth time.. But it was worth it! Haha.. Madness..

Went for cg meeting after that.. It was one of the best ever. The presence of God was really strong and everyone started crying.. Not just sobbing! Tell you, in the presence of God, you don't even care who's looking.. It's only between you and God.. And in the presence of God, there is healing, there is comfort.. and there is peace.. It's like heaven on earth! And I certainly wouldn't trade anything/anyone for that...

*Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear, for You are with me..*

Someone asked me the intriguing question again.. (and it was already midnight)
'So what do you look for in a guy?'
It took me long before finally blabbering something out cos I didn't put much thoughts into that before.. To me, hmm, I feel that once I have a connection/chemistry with him, everything can be worked out together.. And I'm willing to compromise.. (too naive huh?) Frankly speaking, I'm really not good in such stuff la. Maybe not yet.. Cos it's not my priority now.. So if you wanna see me fumbling with my words or get all confused then you can ask me that.. Haha.. I believe that everything has its time and season, so there's no point rushing into something that is not 'due' yet.. Remember the little mermaid? She wanted so badly to see the world after her sisters told her about what they saw.. But she had to wait for her turn to finally come.. When it was her turn, she experienced her own little set of adventure.. Have to stress on the 'own' because had she went up earlier, she would have experience someone else's drama.. So I guess patience is the key?

Just a pieced up piece of my mind..

Some tips for happy souls taking exams

http://www.skoool.ie/examcentre.asp?id=147

Hope it's useful in some ways..

Experienced a little insomnia yesterday.. Mind was flooded with thoughts.. And when I finally fell asleep, I was abruptedly jolted up by images which flashed across my mind.. Ms Wun actually appeared! She was smiling at me.. Immediately after that I jerked up in a shock.. Almost similar to those dreams where you miss a step of stair.. Couldn't breathe easily and my heart was beating fast.. Now I know why people get high blood pressure when under stress.. It's really not good for health.. And as if we don't already know, the principal reminded us today that the A lvl is the most important exam in our course of education... Alright okieee ok..

Today is Mr Kai Liang's birthday. I went specially to jp to buy him chocolate yesterday.. To my horror, my brother opened and ate it even before the clock struck 12.. Ahh, tragic. In the end a few of us gave him Marie Biscuits creatively packaged in a styrofoam box. LOL.. In exchange he had something for me too!! He told me to open my bag.. LOL... And I burst out laughing la. HAHA.. Guess what? LOL.. Cheeky leh.

*To achieve something you have never achieved before, do something which you have never done before.*

counting down: 98 bleak winter days (cold, dark, anti-social,lifeless,fat)

2 digits already!! Feeling rojaked now.. Distress + stress + isolated + excited + motivated
A level is really a test of our inner strength as well... I'd say it's more about testing our mental capacity than our IQ..

Principal displayed signs of PMS this morning... Nan dao.......?
"Girls, your skirts are getting shorter and guys, your hair are getting longer!"
He sure knows how to digress! GP how!!
Talked about how we should clean up the place after using, if not, all cleaners will have a 3-day break.. Tie up all our hair.. Don't be late.. Don't put words into his mouth.. Don't wear our uniforms like ah beng..
See!! I listened to him!

Anyway, this just came across my mind. I have a problem with guys calling girls CHICKS...
We are HUMANS!!! Born out of our mothers' uteruses! We did not crack ourselves out of an egg! It's kinda devaluing us.. Like we're some things to be taken less seriously.. *mind cleared*
So girls, agree?
And guys, share your views..

Maybe it's only me la...
Think too much...
Not good for health...

*Persevering till the end. No turning back.*

Bird will definitely laugh at this..

Case 1
SMSed my dad last night..
Me: Thanks for the rambutans.. Getting FAT already..
Him: Don't worry. Eating rambutan won't make you fat. Good to watch your weight but no good to get too worried over it. God bless and protect your weight ! Ha ha!

Case 2
I let him sign my progress report..
Him: Oh my goodnessss! Not good ah! (blablabla)
After signing..
Him: Never mind! Got hope, got hope!

HAHAHA... Cute right?
Recently I just realised that both my parents smile a lot.. Also laugh quite a bit so I guess it's in my blood hahaha..

I can't help but to smile at the activities I'm gonna indulge in after my As!!
-Work! (gonna treat the girls on my first pay!)
-Resume piano lessons!
-Take up vocal lessons!
-Learn diving!
-Learn driving!
-Hong Kong!!
-Jamming!
-Catch up with my girl friends!! (miss all of you pretty ones !!)
-Do more in choir and cg!!
-Clubbing? (doesn't quite appeal to me though haha)
-Complete reading all my stacked-up dusty books
-Mountain climbing!!
-Will check out the Youth Flying Club as well.. Cool!

YES!! Hopefully they will sustain me throughout my longest holiday ever. Haha..

*Snap* *Rub eyes* Man.. I really shouldn't be thinking of all these now.. =)

*Living life to the fullest!!!*

Had a great time with the girls yesterday! Pinkie and the Bird! HAha.. They never fail to crack me up!!! Bird and I were figuring out when was the last time we had a meal together.. And it was during cny reunion dinner! *misS ya* Pink and I are currently in the same flow *wink* Cool. It's really good to go through something with someone who can empathize..









***o!!

Today Pst Kong talked about marriage. cool. It's really important to build a strong foundation first before 'launching'.. In say 5,6,7 years' time? we'll all be busy attending all our friends' weddings!!! I'm getting excited thinking about that.. HAHA.. yay~ Bro Jeff's coming soon! =)
Well I'm sure you've been asked 'How is your ideal partner like?' For me, I can't totally list out the exact traits.. But the kind of guys that attract me are those who exude confidence and charisma.. It'd be a bonus if we have chemistry as well.. (What's with the 'C's hahaha) And most girls don't like guys who try too hard (hor pink? =P) They don't have to be the superhero all the time.

Just a lil' quickie. ;)

Happy Racial Harmony Day!!!

Our usual dull school burst with colours today! We became alive!! Haha~











It was 3 of us again.. LOL..









You can't find me!! =P (erm ok.. those plants are a lil' skinny..)










Truly Singapore!









*Vickram* Guess what? I was wearing his MUM's costume.. lol..









Well at least I tried! HAHAHA...

Today was a humourous day! Had yoga after lessons.. I love the Indians!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My father smsed me in the afternoon...

Him: At last I know how to pronounce daughter and doctor. Ha! Ha!
Me: Hahaha..
Him: Ya funny.. haha..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My mum was home when I came back from school.. She gave me $50 and asked me to hang the clothes when they were ready in the machine.. *no problem!!!*

Truly humourous day!

*Everyday is a rollercoaster ride!*

I see an inversely proportional trend. As the number of days to A level dwindles, the no of breakdowns increase.. It kinda frightened me today when 2 of my classmates broke down after a teacher talked to them.. I tried hard to contain my tears as well.. Beginning to see more poker faces now..

*Press on...*

Our class had a photo taking session after school today!! HAha...




























Some simply love yoga~


















Not our self..









Very us... Wahhaha... Yusu was really natural HAHA..









Eeyer act cute! HAHA.. Minshan looks so demureee..

Totally no mood to study today! =(

HAHA had quite a nice day!! =) Nothing significant happened though, just felt good! Hehehe.. Oh! I remember I woke up late today! 7.25! Power.. Principal wasn't in a bad mood so I got away with it pretty easily.. And guess what? Gary called in the afternoon! I was studying.. He asked if I'm free tmr and if I wanna go JOHOR with him.. "for what??!" "Go shopping lor!" Wahhh.. he thought the whole world is free when he's on leave.. LOL.. I like his spontaneousness though! Hahahahaha.. I'd have gone if not for schooool.....

*Glad to be living each day!*

Greenss..









Greensss.. Same flow man.. Btw check out ser's new hairstyle.. HAHA.. *demure*


















Haha.. CUTE! (Don't worry steph I won't show the other.. It's as funny as my geisha's lor!)









Steph ah I think you look like those kawaii Jap girl here lor!










I donno what's with the wings and the roses.. I nearly broke his wings when Vernon literally dragged me beside him to take a pic... But he was taking with some girls and I hope I didn't ruin their pic.. (btw this was not taken by me!) LOL.. AND! Though he looked good he's totally not my kind lor! Made me blush for nothing.. (Wah so defensive hor. HAhaha) In the end it was steph n ber who wanted this pic more than me la! lol~ Gei gei only lor~~ HAHaha..










Think my backview looks better lor.. Anyway, HAHA.. I think vernon can go shopping with me la.. Whatever I chose, he didn't like (and vice versa..) LOL.. Opposite attracts! (k la not applicable here) Not my fault also.. seldom go out with guys and I seldom notice/remember what people wear..(Except for that angel) But yesterday Steph really broke through LOL~ HAha.. So demureee..

It's a MONDAY morning!!! Had a good sleep and today I'm ready to face the week with all those challenges attached! =) Yesterday was a dramamama day!!! Took an emotional rollercoaster ride..~ That winged handsome angel and my abandoned handphone.. HAHA.. It's kinda funny now that I think about it..

OK! shoo to school!

Songs are powerful. They express the emotions most of us find difficult to express..

Some favourites..
encouraging: can't take that away & Through the rain-Mariah Carey, Everything in its time-Corrinne May
sexy: Insatiable-Darren Hayes,
Retro: Oh Carol-Paul Anka, Sugar Sugar-The Archies
dance: Hips Don't Lie-Shakira
Happy: Cartoon theme songs =)
Nua: Norah Jones
Relax: The Ultimate Secret Garden
Floaty: Fields of Gold-Sting
Applicable: True-Ryan Cabrera =( ...
and everything of Michael Buble, Corrinne May, Mariah Carey and Norah Jones

Hmmmmm..... One problem. Some songs have special effects only on you. Like the songs your ex liked or even sang to you.. All of the sudden those memories flash in your mind again like it was yesterday and you feel a sense of nostalgia.. You know what I mean? =( Well, not that I have any ex before but I had a slight taste of that.. I think my school's canteen food tastes better.

Ever have a song kept replaying in your head and no matter how hard you wanna shake off, you can't?? It's called a Earworm epidemic!! (I just learnt) And the song that bugged me today was "Fragile" by Rick Price and Heather Field.. Well, not a very nice song to be stuck with you but I thought the "she's so fra ae ae gile" was fun to sing wahhaha.. And actually I only know those few words in that song.. Hee..

Got back our bio mid yr today.. Before giving out the papers, Ms Wun was telling us about how bad we did and usual stuff she says before giving out (prelims in 2 mths.. A lvl shortly after that..) We were all kept in suspense and the atmosphere was really tense.. (at least for me) I have to admit I nearly teared.. I mean I can't afford to fail again you know.. I heaved a sigh of relief when she said I got a 'C' hehe! (Praise the Lord!!) So encouraging for me.. you know how sometimes we can work hard yet fail right.. That's really demoralising. But I'm so gonna press on..
*God never fails to surprise me with what He can do with me*

Oh and after bio, we had YOGA.. JJ has a big dream and that is to place its name in the Guiness World's record for the most number of people doing yoga. So we students have to attend 4 lessons of yoga and 2 rehearsals. Some of the postures are really humourous.. Hilarious! LOL!! I just hope the camera won't capture me on that day and those reporters won't make us lie.. Think it will cause a big hoo islandwide.. HAHA.. Not the type of attention I want man.. LOL~ (not that I like attention =P)








Now you know what I mean..... HAHA!!

After that we went to play captain's ball! HAHA.. Our class' niche.. Today's 'training' was hilarious la.. LOL... Think the yoga had its effect on us.. Seemed like most of us had jelly hands.. After the game I was thinking, this may be one of the last few games we're going to play as a class.. Already the number of players are dwindling.. I will definitely miss those times! (how Derek always knock girls down.. how cp run for the ball.. Humourous!)

Anyway, on the way home, I was sitted in the bus surrounded by 3 J1s (1 beside me and 2 in front). They were yakking away.. And at a turn, all of us saw an albino across the street. He was pretty outstanding and all of them suddenly stopped talking and stared at him. Not surprising cos he was really outstanding. After a few seconds of jaw-drops, they 'recovered' and became parrots.

Wah hen bai leh!
Hen bai leh!!
Wah xia si ren..
Wo bu gan zhan zai ta de pang bian ah!
Wah zhen de hen bai leh!!

(Donno how to switch back to the original colour) Ok, imagine being cornered and hearing all those things.. Actually I was on my verge of telling them off..(level 9) I know even though he couldn't hear them, but at least show some respect right? It just reflected very badly on them.. I was staring no, glaring at them but they seemed oblivious to that.. Doesn't matter anyway.. It set me thinking has our education system failed in some ways? Don't they know that albinism is not a choice? At least he still lifts his head high and is courageous to live his life amidst of people like them.. What a let down.. Think the whole bus could hear them.. Wo cai bu gan zhan zai ta men de pang bian! *roll eyes* After saying those things, they aren't any 'better' than him even though they may thought otherwise.. (hais, whatever la) Kinda affected by this.. On my way to jp, I was thinking "It's equivalent to saying 'He has no legs! He has no legs! So scary.." WAH pleaseeee..... Don't ever let me hear that man.. I promise myself to tell off whoever says those stuff the next time.. Bleach them white see what can they say.. hmph.

Today I did something I never did in my entire life before. I approached a guy!!
It was hilarious.
XX was kinda swooning over him in the canteen..
LOL..
I challenged myself (cos she thought I won't do it and she actually dared me to HAHA) on her behalf and I actually ran up to him from behind.. LOL~~~ HAhaha.. (what was i thinking)

Me: Hey, my friend thinks you're cute
Him: *Blank look*
Me: *Oh dear... does he know english?* (Cos he's a foreign student who just came..)
*Pointing to XX who was at the end of the canteen looking*
There! The girl who is running away! Haha! (She looked like a mouse scurrying)
Him: *Blank look* Oh.. thank you.. *Blank look*

This is so not me!!!! HAHA.. Anyway he was just a boy not older than 16. From Medan.. But he looks like a jap/korean with permanent red face.. LOL.. Ya XX likes that type.. Little cute boys....... After that I found her waiting for me outside the canteen (like some paedophile) LOL.. anxious to know the news.. But I didn't feel like telling her leh. HAha~ I did la eventually..

XX: HUH! He saw me running away?!
Me: HAHA! YES!

=)
Just something to spice up our Tuesday..

Bought a book on saturday at the Attributes.. It was half-priced so it kinda tempted me. It's titled "High Calling" by Evelyn Husband about her husband Rick Husband. (Interesting huh) The book is equally interesting.. When Rick was 4, his dream was to be an astronaut. In the little town that he lived in it seemed impossible or even ridiculous. But his parents knew that he was serious about it and believed in him.. He worked hard towards his dream and not surprisingly he lived his dream. However, his dream caused his death as well when the Columbia exploded minutes before its landing on Feb'03.. This is the gist of it, yet to finish reading hehe.. What a distraction~ Hahah..

Anyway, talking about dreams...
One of the few things I remember when I was young was that one Sunday morning at age 9, my dad brought me to Pentecost Methodist Church at Pasir Ris.. Hmm, it was a small cosy church. I remember when I entered the main hall, I saw 4 singers and a pianist. (It was a small church) And at that moment, I thought to myself, 'wow I wanna be like them (the singers) when I grow up' At that time I was only this small little shy reserved girl so it was just a casual thought maybe.. Never did I know that a decade later, this same thought still bugs me!!! I guess I wouldn't call it a thought now but a dream... =) So when I got into our church choir last year I was thrilllled.. Step by step.. Slowly and steadily.. Yay~

*Stubborn in the things I believe in*

Thank God for the mental strength to make a difficult decision.. Not easy at first, it cost me a few drops of tears.. (very silly) I told myself "I won't compromise my walk with God for any guy." POWER! After that decision, everything falls into place again! And now I feel really really freeeeeee! Steph helped much after I talked to her about it and she shared her experience with me as well.. Plus today's sermon helped! So it's like phew~ Just in time.. Oh and Kelvin also challenged me as well.. 2 is always better than 1! Thanks people.. =) Yay! I'm glad.

Anyway, yesterday! After choir prac and singing for svc I went to watch the NDP rehearsal!! I was super late man.. So I missed the marching in parade (wasted!) The rest of the little I watched was great though.. We (Vernon and father) sat beneath the fireworks! HAHA! We were really near them.. A sight to behold.. Haven't been to the stadium for years so when I first stepped in, I went "wahh so big!" (pardon me..) and it was a sea of red and white! People actually wore red and white!!! For rehearsal! HAHA.. I was quite surprised. =) Then again, something ironic happened, at the end of it, those patriotic citizens became a disgrace to Singapore. Too strong a word? Maybe.. But that was what I thought after seeing all the litters scattering around the stadium..

Errr.. (now I can't believe) I actually asked vernon during the shootouts? Or what do u call it.. When the contingents shoot.. Ya, I asked him "Huh! The balloon (pointing to the big big one at the direction of the rifles) won't burst meh???" LOL~ Wah I felt dumb la after he explained to me that the 'bullets' have their tips removed so when triggered only the shell will drop off producing the shooting sound we hear.. ~~~~ All my 19 years.. What happened!! hahaha.. Try not to laugh at me ok. =) The most dui thing was I forgot to bring my cam!!! Wasted! Nvm hopefully I can get tickets for the actual thing hahaha~~ I actually went to ballot for it.. And I didn't know we can click as many times we want!!! So I clicked once only~ Aiyo~ Haha if not can sell it away.. Heard it can cost as much as 50 for one.. Woo... (when there is a demand......)

Woke up at 530 this morning! Did up some chem.. And then inspiration struck and I wrote something....

Get up on my feet
I'm gonna fight this war again
It will be tough
But I know I can

I'm not the same one
The one you used to know
I have a giant
Hidden inside of me

Take up the cross girl
I'm gonna move on now
All of my past
I leave it far behind

No one can stop me
Or bring me down
My eyes is on God
The one I trust so much

Anyway, our class wore our class tee for the first time. It is a jersey so we are able to put a word and numbers.. Mine created a hoo ha.. Which left me feeling quite surprised. Cos it's simply 'freee' with 32. Like 'Huh? why the big fuss?' I feel free.. Free from the shackles that had me bound.. Free to sing praises to God.. Free to be who I am.. I put the extra 'e' to mean that I feel really free! HAHA.. So I can't really fathom people's reaction today. Not like I put 'Loved' because I feel really loved? Hmmmm... Well good idea! haha.. Maybe my next jersey? Hahaha..

Yesterday's service was phenomenal... I received a fresh touch from heaven and it was real refreshing! Like breathing in life and soaking your cells with energy.. Just in time for me.. Sometimes when the going gets tough, there is a natural tendency to withdraw from whatever you're doing.. but no, i'm going to press on for I know that my reward is at the end of the road..

Man, I LOVE LIFE!!! There is just so much to expect! And I'm really excited as I'm moving on to the next phase of life. The 20s!!! My dad told is it's going to be so different! Getting into a uni.. Establish a career.. Settling down (hehe)... Of course there will be challenges, loads of them.. But each one just makes me a stronger person so why not hehe.. I was telling Serene ytd that "In future when we look back at all the things we went through, we're gonna be so thankful for them cos it was those things that make us who and where we are." So don't complain! It's really doing us good in the long run.. God has brought me this far, I'm so not going to give up cos it'd be so hurting for Him, for the people who have been supporting me.. PRESS ON!

Recently I have a lot of temptations. I told myself that I must be strong, I must guard my heart closely.. I mustn't allow myself to slip cos I know that will be painful.. very painful.. It isn't always easy but I know it's worth it. I'm actually smiling now.. Hehe.. =)
